realme 8s 5G

The Realme 8S 5G is an intriguing device that packs a punch with its extendable RAM, up to 13GB, and the world's first MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor. This mid-ranger boasts impressive specs, including a 90Hz display, 5000mAh battery, and dual 5G support. Its camera setup features a 64MP primary sensor, capable of capturing stunning night shots and decent macro images. But can it deliver on its promise of seamless gaming and multitasking experiences? We'll dive into the details to find out.

Xiaomi 12 Lite

The Xiaomi 12 Lite is a mid-range device that belongs to the same family as the flagship Xiami 12, 12X, and 12 Pro series. While it shares some design elements with its more expensive counterparts, such as an accented camera bump, it stands out with its flat back and frame, giving it a squared-off look and feel. The phone's front features a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution, Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and a fast 120Hz refresh rate. The display is one of the highlights of the phone, offering excellent sharpness, contrast, and maximum brightness that enters flagship-grade territory. The Xiaomi 12 Lite also features an under-display fingerprint reader, which is responsive and convenient to use. However, unlike some other Xiaomi devices, it lacks a headphone jack, but it does have a pair of stereo speakers that deliver good sound quality. Under the hood, the phone runs on a Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset, which provides smooth performance and decent battery life. The phone's camera system consists of a 108-megapixel main cam, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. While the cameras produce good results, they are not significantly better than those found on cheaper Xiaomi mid-rangers. The phone also features fast 67W charging, which can charge the battery from zero to 84 percent in half an hour. The overall package is solid, with the standout feature being its excellent AMOLED display. However, for those willing to spend a bit more, there are competitors with flagship-grade chipsets available. While the Xiaomi 12 Lite is a decent phone, it may not be the best value for money, especially considering that most of its features can be found on cheaper mid-rangers from the same brand. Nevertheless, it remains a solid option for those in search of a reliable and feature-packed mid-range device.
